Mount Rogers Hike: Sunrise

I woke early enough on Saturday to witness the sunrise. Not as colorful as sunset the night before, but dramatic nonetheless (click for larger version):

There was a pony grazing about 30 yards from where I took this picture. I approached it to get a better shot of it, and it hardly even noticed my presence. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a good picture, but there will be more ponies to come.
